Resumen

Este working paper forma parte de un trabajo de investigación que está siendo desarrollado para una tesis doctoral y que tiene como objetivo definir e identificar cuáles son los puntos de partida de una política clúster regional exitosa. Primero reflexiona sobre teoría de clústeres y sobre conceptos de política clúster para después centrarse en la elaboración, en dos pasos, de un marco analítico para el análisis de políticas. El primer paso es definir las etapas de los procesos de política clúster y seleccionar, de entre una gama de casos prácticos y teóricos de políticas clúster, factores clave que afectan al desarrollo de políticas. El segundo paso es atribuir dichos factores a una etapa concreta en los procesos de política clúster. La ventaja de dicho marco analítico es su capacidad de ofrecer una perspectiva más profunda y amplia sobre diferentes políticas clúster a la vez que hace comparaciones y genera aprendizaje de políticas. Este marco puede, por último, usarse como una caja de herramientas para policy makers que quieran identificar las fortalezas y debilidades de sus políticas clúster.
